PC-ESD

Electrostatic Dissipative FDM Thermoplastic

ESD-capable material

PC-ESD is a polycarbonate material designed with electrostatic dissipative (ESD) properties, making it ideal for applications that require protection against static discharge.

Engineered for use in ESD-sensitive environments with higher mechanical performance demands, PC-ESD combines the strength and durability of polycarbonate with the added benefit of ESD protection.

Applications

  • Highly customised handling trays for electronic components that are too complex for machining or injection moulding
  • Pick and place machine components for electronic component assembly where static build up is a concern
  • Fixtures or masks
  • Jigs & Fixtures

What are the Qualities of PC-ESD?

  • Delivers consistent ESD performance in an FDM material
  • Retains Polycarbonates good chemical resistance
  • Heat deflection temperature of 140 degrees celcius, making it suitable for some higher temperature applications

Where can PC-ESD be used?

Nearly all industries engage in some aspect of electronics manufacturing, and PC-ESD offers an advantageous material option for harnessing the time and cost-saving benefits of additive manufacturing in electronic component production. Its electrostatic dissipative properties make it particularly suited for creating high-performance parts while ensuring efficiency and protection in the manufacturing process.

What printer can it be used on?

PC-ESD material is currently available on the Fortus 450 and the F900 systems.
